I have been cutting parts using Delta Cad drawings converted from dxf to G code using Ace converter but I always need to edit the depth control. I can't seem to get that part of the program to work. A demo of "dxf to G code" works fine but I hate having to ante up $80.00 if i could get Ace to work-thanks in advance.

Your software is not familiar to me however, your files are more than likely 2D so you would have to program the Z axis by hand.

Try Deskcnc. They have a free trial download. "Z" movements programmed in my Deskcnc.
